Help Baby goose is not eating/ drinking and is shaking.

[DreamViewFarm]

Please help,, We recently hatched an African goose. The others have grown and are doing fine but there is one that is staying the same size as it was when it was first born ( about 1 week ago) it is not eating and drinking and is shaking a lot when it gets cold, even after it warms up it is still shaking. I don't know what to do maybe I am overreacting maybe not

Does it sit under the heat lamp? Hate to say it but sometimes hatchlings just die. It's part of it.

Have you checked baby for pasty butt ?
It’s the first thing I look for after one of my customers who bought eggs from me almost lost a duckling.
I went and picked it up and realized the issue was it was blocked and couldn’t poo
Got it fixed and baby was as good as new in seconds after it was able to poo ( all over my hands lol )
If that’s not the issue have you tried vitamins ?
